Just submitted everything this very instant. Its been a rough battle filled process. Hoping the surgeon's office submits everything to my insurance company. I Have bmi of 47, diabetes high blood pressure and sleep apnea. A trifecta. I am so nervous that my life is now in the hands of insurance people who don't see this as a means of having a chance at healthy life. Im praying and hopeful. Does anyone know how long it takes for UH/OXFORD.

No, I decided to stay in the States and go with Dr. Umbach in Las Vegas.

I got a glance at the calendar today, 3 week to go! I had a mini excited panic attack. After a year and a half of waiting, it's finally going to be my turn

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
